i'm a healthcare professional. i don't understand how these pharmacies were able to manufacture these compounds and then transport them across state lines. who was watching them? when i moved to a different state, i have to appeal to that board and i have to get a license to practice. how is it that these pharmacies are sending these medications out-of-state and causing all this chaos and hurt to these people? i don't understand. that's a good question, something that the fda, particularly the commissioner has called a new kind of gray area. not necessarily that they weren't aware of what is happening -- maybe they knew how .arge it was becoming it's something that they are now trying to get under control, call a third area of not drug making a not compounding, but something that needs to be regulated in a different way. then there are others who think -- republicans think it is plain drug making and needs to be regulated as strictly as drug czar. -- drugs are. a caller on our line for republicans. go ahead. actual
